The 2018–19 Utah Utes women's basketball team represented the University of Utah during the 2018–19 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Utes, led by fourth year head coach Lynne Roberts, played their home games at the Jon M. Huntsman Center and were members of the Pac-12 Conference. They finished the season 20–10, 9–9 in Pac-12 play to finish in a tie for sixth place. They lost in the first round of the Pac-12 women's tournament to Washington.
